Conclusions of the event
In relation to the outcome of the round table discussion it can be concluded that the
most urgent hurdles for the realization of plants are – from the viewpoint of the
debaters – as follows:
Enhanced legal provisions in relation to sustainable feed in tariffs are
needed; lessons learned from the deployed system have to be considered;
Potentials of the role of the public (government, authorities etc.) as model
should be exploited and at the same time credibility of the commitments to
lower greenhouse gas emissions could be strengthened;
Regulatory risks have to be diminished as much as possible;
The investment sentiment has to be increased in relation to
security/guarantee for long term investments subsidies;
Unstableness in relation to tax treatments (biogas plants are investments of
long term nature) has to be avoided, since investors need a stable longterm
“tax” framework for such investments;
R&D activities in relation to the 2 nd and 3 rd generation biofuels/biogas
generation processes need to be intensified.
